Patent GB-190704618-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Carburetters for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: FORBES CHARLES STEWART
Filed: 1907-02-25
Granted: 1908-01-30
Abstract: 4618. Forbes, Sir C. S. Feb. 25. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. The air and oil supplies to a carburettor are controlled by an aneroid barometer or other vacuum box' fixed in the carburettor. The petrol valve may be of any suitable type. The nozzle a with its orifice a<1> is supplied from the float chamber b. The flow of fuel is regulated by a sliding sleeve d connected to the vacuum box e supported by a sleeve f which carries a pointer h. By turning the pointer, the fuel orifice can be adjusted. A spring d<2> assists the box e. The air supply is heated by the exhaust coil k. A modification is described in which the' jet is vertical and a weight replaces the spring d<2>. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the vacuum box is fixed to the plate p supported by pillars q, and is connected to the air valve r normally held tight against the plate p. Under the influence of the suction, the box e aided by the spring d<2> opens the valve. In the event of aback-fire taking place, the valve r and plate p are forced outwards and the accumulated gases escape through the boles s. Both the petrol and air supplies may be controlled by a vacuum box.

Title: Improvements relating to Elastic Fluid Turbines.
Inventor: EHRHART RAYMOND NELSON
Filed: 1907-03-16
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 6408. Ehrhart, R. N. March 19,1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Elastic fluid turbines.-A governing-mechanism for elastic-fluid turbines is shown in the Figure. A governor-controlled puff-action throttle valve 9 supplies steam to the steam-chest 5. The nozzles are arranged in groups, the first group 6 opening into the steam-chest ; the second group 7, the third group 8, and other groups, if there are any, are controlled by valves 19. The first valve 19 is normally closed but is opened when, owing to a diminution in the speed of the turbine, the more fully opened throttle valve supplies more steam than can be readily passed through the first group of nozzles, so that the increased pressure in the steam-chest, passing through a pipe 29, acts underneath the piston 24 of the valve 19 and raises the valve. The top of the piston 24 is ac'ed on by a spring 28, and by a reduced pressure introduced through a pipe 26. A second piston 23 on the valve-rod 20 is acted on underneath by the pressure in the steam-chest, and on the top by the pressure in the nozzle chamber 17 passing through a pipe 31. The second valve 19 is actuated in a similar way except that its actuating-fluid is supplied by a pipe 33 connected to the first nozzle chamber 17, and the valve comes into action when the first valve is overloaded. Subsequent valves are similarly actuated. The valves close in the reverse order.

Title: Improvements in Devices for Recording the Readings of Meters.
Inventor: HAWKINS GEORGE ELLSWORTH
Filed: 1907-04-29
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 9913. Hawkins, G. E. April 29. Counting-apparatus.-The index hands of gas, water, and electric meters are adapted to print without ink on a special paper strip a record of the reading and the number of the meter. The index hands 19, which are carried on square spindles sliding in the actuating pinions, are hollowed out as shown in Figs. 6 and 7 to leave a printing edge 60 and are extended to bear against a plate 20, Fig. 3, separated from the rear counter bearing-plate by springs but adapted to be advanced by turning a removable key 37 so as to press the index hands against a paper strip 39, 40 inserted between the glass front 22 and the dials. In a modification, the glass plate 42, Fig. 4, is movable by the key so as to press the paper against the index hands. The number of the meter is carried on a plate 23, mounted on a movable spindle 44, Fig. 3, or of the same height as the index hands, Fig. 4. The paper is folded in three, the inner face of the outer and middle fold being carboned as described in Specification No. 9912, A.D. 1907. The strip is inserted through a side opening in the casing behind the glass front, the opening being normally closed by a bevelled spring-pressed plate. Specification No. 856, A.D. 1864, is referred to.

Abstract: 17,903. Gascard, J., and Shimmen, R. Aug. 6. Screening potatoes, onions, &c.-In a machine for screening potatoes, onions, fruit, &c., the materials are fed through a hopper 4, pivoted at 25, on to the outer travelling screen 5, 6, which has transverse bars, acting also'as carrying ridge, secured upon longitudinal cords ; the other screens are located inside the circuit of the outer screen. The outer screen is agitated by the action of rolls 8,8<a> which are adjustably fixed in the frame sides 2, , and are so arranged that, when the flat of one roll comes into'contact with the screen, the angle of the other roll raises the screen. The large potatoes &c. are carried on by the outer screen to a canvas shoot 10 and fall into bags, the remainder falling through on to an inner endless screen 12, 13 of smaller aperture ; the medium potatoes &c. pass on to the shoot 16, the small ones dropping through into the shoot 17, and then on to the slatted board 18, where they can be collected in bags. This operation can be extended by increasing the number of screens. The moving parts are rotatable either by hand or by power from the shaft 21.

Actuating-mechanism; delivery mechanism.-After prepayment the operator depresses a handlever I, which is coupled by a link S to a disk T, thereby rotating a wheel 11, solid with the roller E, through a quarter of a revolution by means of a catch U which engages a slot W, Fig 3, in the wheel. An article is thus delivered from the chain on to the outer surfaces of semicylinders F, F<1>, which are simultaneously rotated to receive it and to allow the article delivered at the previous operation to pass to the shelf H by means of links 7, 8 pivoted to the disk T. The catch U slips out of the notch W just prior to the completion of the motion, which is effected by a spring-controlled rod 17 bearing on the upper roller E, a detent X connected by a slotted link 5 to the hand-lever entering the notch to prevent reversal of the band during the return of the hand-lever under the action of the spring 10. Coin action.-The coin inserted in a pocket on a lever L pivoted at l raises a rod M and removes a catch from a rack on a rod J which moves with the hand-lever. One side q of the coin pocket is movable being connected by a slotted rod 13, Fig. 3, to a weight 12, which, when secured in the dotted position, adapts the pocket to take coins of a larger size. Coin-discharging mechanism.-During the operation a camp on a rod P connected to the handlever slides the part q laterally by engaging a pin Q, permitting the coin to escape. Registers.-At each operation a pawl 16 carried by the rod J rotates a ratchet to show through a window 15 the number of articles still in the machine.
